Accuracy, ergonomics and savings with Hot Melt glue
Hot melt glue is one of packaging's best friends. Whether for cans and yogurts, bottles or cheese, Hot Melt glue is an effective system for sealing containers and boxes. It is flexible and thermally stable; an economical solution that guarantees high performance gluing.
But what is hot melt glue really? Also known as hot melt, it is a thermoplastic material that can hold and bond substrates together. Its state at room temperature is solid, although it is applied in a liquid (molten) state and adheres to the surface when cooled. Bostik's KIZEN is an innovative and safe system that has been revolutionizing the industry for a few years: it puts an end to glue clumping, carbonization in the tank and difficult and heavy handling; it also solves nozzle blockages, application blockage and dirt. It also simplifies the customer's line, where the main characters are now only the automatic filling system, the application tank and gun, and the operator.
Benefits of Hot Melt Adhesive in Packaging
Among its advantages and strengths, KIZEN Hot Melt is an optimal application that stands out for its:
- Smooth feeding. It ignores clumping and melts and pastes quickly, thus achieving process optimization and meeting production targets.
- High thermal stability. Reduces carbonization, prevents nozzle clogging and preserves refills. The clog-free operation makes the units operate smoothly and thus makes them perfect for use with intermittent and on-demand dispensing systems.
- Accuracy. The glue is applied exactly where it is needed. In addition, thread production is reduced and its high performance is improved. In fact, its low density and properties make Hot Melt glue a material that does not require a continuous thread, thus reducing consumption, improving the final packaging result and reducing product saturation.
- Savings. Both in materials and in the maintenance of your equipment. Adhesive consumption is minimal and the grammage is also reduced.
- Productivity. It is superior thanks to high performance gluing with 100% fiber removal.
- Adhesion. Penetrates all types of surfaces: its low viscosity makes it applicable even in the most difficult environments, such as recycled cardboard.
- Ergonomics. All KIZEN products are packed in 12kg bags and can be delivered on pallets of 48 bags.
- Compatibility. It is compatible with automatic filling systems and, thanks to this, it improves the anti-caking behavior, the feeding is fluid and, as the line does not stop at any time, it increases productivity.
Real applications
E-commerces, wine producers and manufacturers of ice cream, syrups or yoghurts are some of the professionals who, in the course of their work, rely on the application of Hot Melt adhesive on their end-of-line packaging. The Kizen range covers the needs of several sectors and therefore offers three different products:
Kizen FORCE: for closing all types of boxes in general. Versatile and difficult supports.
Kizen HEAT: resistant to high temperatures and difficult substrates.
Kizen ICE: for closing boxes in cold and humid environments, such as frozen (-20°C) and very difficult substrates.
It is important to go for convenience, but if you also get savings and precision, it is really a good option. If you want to improve your box closing system and packaging with Hot Melt glue, we recommend you to fill out this form to optimize your work system.
